OpenAI: “How could we possibly have predicted the outcome of our actions?!?”
Everyone that has been shouting for years about the inevitable outcome of their actions: “… FUCKING SERIOUSLY?”
Your honor, when I took off the parking brake, put the car in neutral, and gave it a big push down the hill, it was in the interest of science, to see how far it would go. I think a lot hinges on intent here. It certainly was not my intent to mow down five children at a bus stop.
Your honour, in my defensd, the car went really fast like: vroooom and then it swerved on its own and everythjng was all: CRASH SMASH BANG BOOM SPERKLASH BANG and people were all running around screaming like “aaaaàah thr car just ran over my baby”. So you sre, your jinour, even the infant’s mother knows it was the car’s fault. And most importantly, weve advanced science.
Man who is paid to say the company should not be liable: “The company should not be liable”
Well, at least he’s doing his job! I hope they remember this moment during his annual performance review.
Sure, I bought the gun. I loaded it with live rounds. Yeah, I aimed it at the guy. I won’t deny I pulled the trigger, either. However, once the bullet left the barrel, I stopped being responsible for it! The bullet killed him, not me!
Really your responsibility ends when the hammer hits the back of the bullet casing. I mean you aren’t responsible for chemical reactions…
If any other dev lab had approached security the way they did, they’d be massively sued for negligence. And the suits would succeed.
We aren’t in the dot com bubble anymore.
I’ve started looking at the AI bubble just like the dot com bubble. In 10-15 years I’ll be able to come out of retirement and make a boatload of money working on legacy systems because there won’t be any experienced devs who were entry-level while all this shit was happening.
so weird, if nobody is responsible for anything, what’s the fucking point. no reason to trust the product. a bunch of babies. be a man, and own up to your shit.
Ford was not responsible for the pinto, nor takata for their airbags, your honor
“Sure, we designed it, built it, taught it everything it knows, and are directing its actions, but holding us accountable for it is a bridge too far!”
His point is that without intent there shouldn’t be liability…
How could you even claim that as a lawyer. I wouldn’t be surprised if most liability is without intent.
It’s the only argument he’s got.
Lets make defense bots that learn to kill evil people on their own, and then not be liable when billionaires die.
Putting aside the obvious “yes they should,” if they’re not liable when bad things happen, they also shouldn’t get any credit for good things.
How about: it is a hacking tool that has been used to commit cyber crimes. It should be confiscated and destroyed.
